The Archives for the New Orleans Province, Society of Jesus are housed in the Monroe
Library at Loyola University New Orleans. The collection dates from the return
to Louisiana of the Jesuits in 1836, and includes some copies of documents
form the Colonial Period preceding the Society's suppression in 1763.

The collection tells the story, not only of the parishes and institutions
founded by the Jesuits, but it contains the history of Catholicism throughout
the ten southern States of the Province.

Researchers are welcomed by appointment only.
